In life, some people will always be followers.
They don't want to think for themselves, either because they're too stupid, or too lazy. Or abundance.
The biggest problem with these people, is that they are so desperate to be led, and are so fucking oblivious, that they can't even tell if someone is worth following or not. History is full of numerous examples of this
A contemporary example would be doogman. Kim, f3, and Eklund don't have an ounce of charisma between them, and they are somehow running the largest UW football message board.
A fool and his money...
